'''Linford Manor''', also known as Great Linford Manor, is a seventeenth-century [[mansion]] or [[manor house]] converted into a [[recording studio]] complex in [[Great Linford]], near [[Milton Keynes]], England. It is now owned by [[Pete Winkelman]] who is chairman of {{fc|Milton Keynes Dons}} football club.<ref>{{cite web|last=Jackson|first=Jamie|title=From Wimbledon to Winkelman, a crazy new journey|url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2008/mar/30/football.newsstory2|work=The Observer|accessdate=9 January 2012|date=30 March 2008}}</ref> |

[[Biffy Clyro]] recorded their second album, [[The Vertigo Of Bliss]], there - and, according to an [[urban myth]], took just 24 hours to do so.<ref name="RockShow">In an interview with Daniel P. Carter on [[BBC Radio 1]]s [http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/rockshow/tracklistingarchive.shtml?20070220 The Rock Show], on 20 February 2007, Biffy Clyro admitted that this story was a "slight exaggeration".</ref> |
|||
Other artists to record there are: Jamiroquai, ELO, Oasis, Wildhearts, [[PJ Harvey]] and [[Matmatah]]. [[The Veils]] also recorded the majority of their debut album [[The Runaway Found]] here in 2003. |
|||
The first artist to be recorded in Great Linford studios was Southside Jimmy (Jim Price). He recorded a number of tracks under a management deal with Harry Maloney. |

==Original grounds of the Manor== |
|||
The former stables and associated gate houses are now an Arts Centre.<ref>[http://www.artworks-mk.co.uk/home/our-sites/great-linford-site/ Artworks MK{{spaced ndash}}Great Linford site]</ref> The former almshouses beside the stables are now used as artists' [[studio]]s. The [[Grand Union Canal]] runs near the manor house: it originally had its own wharf here (independent of the Great Linford wharf). |
